The Greek Ramsar sites - a parody of conservation

This brief aims to  summarize the  present status of the Greek Ramsar wetlands. Greece has ten Ramsar sites, of which seven are on the Montreux Record. This is probably the worst performance, at least in the entire Mediterranean. The Evros delta is used in this brief as a case study since it is one of the most important Greek Ramsar wetlands and one of the 3 that in 1999 were removed from the Montreux record based on alleged progress in conservation status and removal of threats.
